Retrieve your heritage with photo restoration

Glass Negative

This negative was created in the 1920’s

Recently one of our Facebook fans brought us a couple of glass plate negatives to work with.  in the old days of photography, actually the days before film, negatives were made of glass.  At Bender Photography we don’t do a lot of photo restoration, but I was intrigued with the idea of working with such old images.

At first, we weren’t sure if we could even work with them.  They needed to be scanned and entered into our imaging system.  But we found that with a little work, we could get a good scan and have a file to work with.  The negatives were of decent quality, considering their age.  But like much of the stuff from that era there were things that we could fix using photoshop.

We had our experienced photo retouchers work their magic on the two images and we were pleased with the results!  It turns out that the images were created in the 1920’s!

Photography, snapshots and family portraits are such an important part of life.  For most families, it is their only recorded family history.  It was fun working with those old negatives.
